One day, during my internship at Geo,
when I was heading back towards home in my van there was a lady beggar who came
up to ask for money from us. She had an infant child in her hand and was asking
for money from us. As everyone opened their bags to help her, she brought her
hand inside our van in order to gather. On seeing her, the child exactly did
the same. He leaned his fragile and tiny hand and gestured the same way as his
mother, to ask for money. The moment his mother saw this, she right away smilingly held his
hand, kissed it and politely forbid that innocent baby him from doing that.
This welled up my eyes. A mother's
embrace besides being full of warmth also possesses ample concern and
compassion. If anybody tries to hurt her child, he for sure would find the mother in an
absolute defensive streak. In this world where so much unfairness and injustice
prevails mother's love is absolutely unconditional.
These days life is undoubtedly very much frustrating especially
during the political unrest within the city where things even from far aren’t
seemingly getting better. Sometimes when we are deliriously exhausted after a
long tiring day, we ignore the questions from our mothers. Just reminisce about
those days from childhood when she used to answer all our questions with the
vigor that is still there in her today.
No wonder why presence of paradise exists underneath the
feet of a mother. Salute to all those mothers on the street who sacrifice their
food just to satiate the hunger of their children, at the cost of their own
health. I recently read an article in which a mother from food insecure areas
was diagnosed as malnourished whereas her children were perfectly healthy. Their
favors and debts upon us can never ever be settled.
This blog post goes to all those outstanding mothers our
there striving to provide their off springs a contended life.
